 I've recently acquired an 18 plate Flair, and I've noticed an odd thing on the ICE regarding DAB station logos.
After scanning for stations only 3 of the dozens of stations includes a logo, the others just have a generic radio symbol.
I am in a good reception area and I have re-scanned several times with no difference and I am on the latest version of the firmware.


Do any of you have the logos displaying on your DAB stations, if so can you suggest anything that I may be doing wrong?

 Interesting. Skoda offer folder full of UK DAB station logos which can be downloaded and installed on their infotainment system. It's very good. Sadly I doubt it's compatible as you have to supply your VIN.

 On mine, all the saved FM stations have logos and the DAB do not, except for Classic FM, which has a logo on both, but lists the station as 'Classic' on FM and 'Classic FM' on DAB. Not much help to you though!

 I had the same trouble with my 2014 C4GP.

Sadly it’s been a problem on the SMEG+ and the NAC audio systems fitted across the whole PSA group.

My new Peugeot 3008 has the same issue and there isn’t anything that can be done about it. It spoils the look of the screen in my opinion. It just seems to be DAB stations.

Each firmware update brings very little and even now, absolutely no change with any new station logos. One of the Peugeot experts on the Peugeot forums indicates the logos are held within the firmware, but in the last 5 years, they’ve not updated them!

When you see any Citroen or Peugeot brochure images of the screen, they show FM stations which have the proper icons. I think the lack of a fully implemented Dab system in France means FM is the dominant system and not seen as a priority.

Even the latest DS3 Crossback and DS7 which use the Wave 3 NAC systems still have the lack of correct station logos.

 Thanks for the replies, glad it's not something that I'm doing wrong, although it seems very odd that 3 stations have the logo, pity that none of them are ones that I want to listen to.

 DAB - a complete waste of space. Eg Radio Caroline on test in Norwich. I can see the aerial but often can't get any sound. Others are as useless. Wish I could get as far as logos but can't even get sounds. DAB is only of use if you live in a strong signal area and Norfolk isn't one of them even if you travel in the capitol city of Norwich!

 I don't think it is that DAB/ DAB+ is no good, it's more that Citroen don't seem to fit a very good system. Our C4, DS4 and and now our 2019 C4 Cactus, all regularly dropped/drop their signal, whereas our 2016 Ford Focus ST, does not.

 I find myself listening to internet radio via Android Auto and the Tune In Radio application. Better sound quality, fewer (or noone) signal drops and better sound quality. I also have a big data allowance so I can stream all day and not worry about costs.

 When I was in Canada, my car had satellite radio - there was no FM transmitters or 4G. The range of stations was amazing and included the BBC though there was a 7 hr time difference.
